Mark Manio

Tom Burro was born with one eye clouded gray, the mark that cursed his life. His father called it an omen. His stepmother called him a monster. His only friend was Snowly, a mysterious white dog that seemed to understand everything he said. When Tom’s mother died under strange circumstances, he was abandoned and left to rot in a crumbling orphanage. His half-brother, Gabby Miles Burro, inherited everything, wealth, reputation, and the Burro name, and used it to make Tom’s life a private hell. But on the night Gabby nearly beat him to death, something awoke inside the “bad eye.” The world slowed. The air shimmered. And a voice whispered inside his mind: “The Spirit System of the Matriarchal Line has found its heir.” Suddenly, Tom could see opportunities: glowing threads that led to fortune, danger, or salvation. Every decision revealed invisible paths, the Spiritual Economy of reality itself. From scavenging junkyards to hacking fate, Tom begins climbing from the ashes. But with every gain, he feels someone watching him. The system’s power is evolving, and with it, ancient forces long buried are stirring. Gabby’s greed isn’t just human anymore. Something ancient has chosen him too… By the time Tom learns the truth, that his cursed eye isn’t just a gift but a key to a divine inheritance, he’ll already be trapped in a web of bloodlines, betrayal, and fate. And Snowly, his loyal companion, might not be a dog at all

The next, he's lying inside a stranger's blood-soaked body in the world of Eldoria, and the demon swordswoman who killed it is sitting right beside him, wiping her blade.

From the Royal Academy's lowest class to forbidden dungeons, demon courts, and a throne nobody expected him to claim, Adrian will gather powerful allies, break rival nobles, and build a faction that humans and demons both fear to betray. But every new power weakens the wall around something terrible, sleeping beneath the world. Survive first. Rule second.

The Sundered Seal Book One of The Abyss Chronicles For ten thousand years, the abyss was only a bedtime story. Dragons, wyverns, and things with voices that shake the earth were myths told to frighten children into behaving. Then a man in plain grey clothes broke the seal. Veyrath is forgettable to look at and terrifying to know. To fulfil an ideology no one else can bear to hear, he unleashed the creatures of the abyss and spread a curse that turns humans into mindless, murderous abominations. Worse, he cannot be killed, because hundreds of his clones are hidden across the world, each one as powerful as the original. In the quiet valley of Dawnhollow, twins Kaelen and Lyra have just turned twenty-one. She is a prodigy of the wind and the second rank. He is the first Ascendant the settlement has seen in living memory, with a golden light that heals instead of destroys. When the first monster comes over the wall wearing a shepherd's coat, Kaelen sees a frightened human face beneath the ruin, and he learns his gift can undo the curse. But every cure leaves a mark on him. Each life he saves pulls him a little closer to becoming the thing he is trying to reverse. As the dragons turn out to be prisoners of the same sickness, and Veyrath climbs to a rank no one thought possible, the twins must lead a hopeless war with only each other to hold on to. Some monsters can be healed. Some can only be fought. And the hardest part may be knowing which is which.

On the night of Kael Draven’s birth, the skies split in two. The moon turned blood-red, the Veil of Aegis—the sacred barrier protecting the kingdom of Eryndor—shattered, and demons poured into the realm, slaughtering thousands. His mother died in childbirth, and the High Hierophant Malrick, leader of the Sanctum of Luminar, declared the newborn child the source of the calamity. From that moment, Kael was branded the “cursed child,” a walking omen of doom. His noble family disowned him, his name erased from their records, while his younger brother Aelric was exalted as the chosen heir. Kael grew up in chains, spat upon by peasants and nobles alike, humiliated in public festivals, and treated as less than a dog. His only friend was Fang, a scarred stray dog who shared his pain. Yet fate had other plans. During the grand trial, where Kael was condemned to die by being devoured by a monstrous beast in the royal arena, the curse mark on his body ignited. A fading celestial spirit, Elyndra, bonded with him, and his soul unlocked the Eclipse Codex, a divine system hidden within the mark. What the world called a curse revealed itself as a path to power. Despised by all, betrayed by blood, and hunted by the temple, Kael will rise from scorned trash to savior of Eryndor. The curse they fear is the only hope of salvation against Umbraxis, the Eternal Hunger—the primordial evil sealed at Kael’s birth, now stirring once again.

Cassian Ashborn is twenty years old, penniless, and invisible — a house servant with no family, no future, and no idea what he carries in his blood. Everything changes the night he stumbles into a hidden chamber beneath his lord's estate and touches an inscription that shouldn't exist. The floor glows. A voice speaks. A mark burns itself into his palm. He is the last descendant of the Forgotten God — a divine power so thoroughly erased from history that even his name was destroyed. Thousands of years ago, seven gods conspired to enslave humanity. The Forgotten God refused. They erased him for it. Now Cassian is hunted by the Pale Conclave, the Church's shadow enforcement arm that has spent centuries making sure this bloodline never resurfaces. Behind them, something older and far more dangerous — the Undying Court — wants the power for themselves. To survive, Cassian must unlock seven Divine Seals hidden inside his own bloodline, uncover the truth behind the Divine War, and expose a lie that has held an entire world in place for a thousand years. He starts with nothing. No power, no allies, no training. That changes too. Alongside a disgraced soldier with his own debts to settle and an operative who begins as his enemy and becomes something far more complicated, Cassian moves from fugitive to the one thing the gods who rewrote history were always afraid of. A witness who refuses to look away.

However, one crucial question remains unanswered: A baby boy named Harry has vanished without a trace. Despite extensive searches, Harry’s location remains a mystery, as if he disappeared into thin air. Unbeknownst to everyone, Harry actually survived that tragic night. His tiny body was thrown clear of the car, landing deep in the wild forest. There, he was attacked by a wolf, leaving a bite mark that would change his life forever. Instead of dying, Harry was rescued by a pack of wolves. He was raised in the wild, adhering to the law of the jungle. Over time, the bite wound caused something unnatural to grow within him.

As Harry grows into adulthood, he begins to question his identity. His wild instincts push him out of the forest and into the unfamiliar, harsh, and threatening city. It is there that Harry slowly uncovers the truth about his origins. He learns that he is indeed the child of the Aubrey family, and that the accident that claimed their lives was no accident at all.

Leo was typical, overlooked and completely unprepared when a forbidden tome chose him and gave him the mark of a Warden and placed him under the Mage Academy. This school is an intermediary between worlds, a training ground where recipients of a gift of a System Interface, called a Codex, are trained. However, the file of Leo himself is empty, his Codex whispers that they are “unfinished,” and the elite at the Academy are watching him with suspicion and fear. Dropped into a realm of magical rank and fatal challenges, Leo is an exception. His magic is not dead, but a forbidden energy, which develops by consuming the magic and memories of others. In a maimed mentor who has an overabundance of knowledge, a genius competitor with a cursed lineage, and an ally with a talent to outwit the street, Leo discovers a rot inside the Academy.

He is a “Fractured Soul,” a descendant in an intergenerational cycle, who will either redeem the world or ruin it.
